LASER COMPONENTS was founded by Günther Paul as a sales company in 1982. Neither the EU nor the euro existed at that time. It was almost impossible for companies to import components from abroad; they became the reliable partner for imported components. Much has changed since then: The internet has made the world smaller, start-ups have become major players, and last but not least, they have also continued to develop. However, they have always stayed true to our core business: the production and sale of optical and optoelectronic components.
LASER COMPONENTS has grown over the years. In 1986 the first production facility was opened in Germany; sales branches were founded in France, Great Britain, Sweden, and the U.S.A.; and production facilities were set up in Canada and the U.S.A.
The most important resource in company’s history is their employees; many a 20-year employee anniversary has already been celebrated. Long-term employment relationships ensure their know-how.
